be less impulsive

I let my emotions trick me into stupid actions and decisions. Does anyone has any experience with pro-and-con-lists?

I have to.. HAVE TO… take sometime to think things trough… I’m too impulsive, and I have make many mistakes in the past because of that… So, my new year resolution, is to Be less impulsive…!!

:)

What is the best way to fight it?

I feel like it’s a form of mental illness or something & maybe need to talk to someone since impulsivity affects my relationships, finances, jobs and life in general. I’m working on finding a person who can keep me in check before I do something, and working on thinking a little longer before I speak so as not to regret what I say immediately.

I’d like to be able to help people here and provide support as well as receive support from this group. So much of our society is instant gratification and I believe this will be a better world if we could all learn this skill.

With age comes… boredom, I guess.

I’m thinking now I have to work on regaining my impulsivity.

I have no self control and wouldnt even know where to start

I impulsively clicked on this and tried to get rid of it but couldn’t figure out how. Now, I think I should TRY and be less impulsive and think decisions through a little more thoroughly but honestly, that’s just not me. Any input?

Being without a job for almost 4 months now, I had to be careful when spending money. I wasn’t used to this kind of living, since I always had a good job and even before that, Daddy had a lot of money… lol! But now, I think I learned how to save my money and be careful about spending it smartly.

I just hope I don’t fall into impulsivity again, when I have my new job!

And I like that.

Spontaneous is good, impulsive is bad. Stop being crazy :-)

I just really need to work on slowing down just long enough to think before I act or speak, lately my lack of doing this has awarded me with a fair share of avoidable trouble.
